I am confused
I am asian and westerners perception of israel is weird
So It was completely empty -even though Palestine is a fertile land in a strategic position and hosts multiple important historical and religious sites-
So the jews created land there and the evil arabs attacked them for no reason
Zionists talked about colonialsation and displacing the natives since the 1900s and attacks on the locals were conducted even before the arab world was independent Theodore Herzl literally referred to his plans as "something colonial" in a letter to Cecil Rhodes (the guy who founded the white supremacist colony of Rhodesia) where he asked him for help in the endeavor.
Other quotes worth mentioning:
Zionist colonization must either be terminated or carried out against the wishes of the native population. This colonization can, therefore, be continued and make progress only under the protection of a power independent of the native population - an iron wall, which will be in position to resist the pressure to the native population.
This is, in toto, our policy towards the Arabs..."
- Vladimir Jabotinsky, The Iron Wall, 1923
A voluntary reconciliation with the Arabs is out of the question either now or in the future. If you wish to colonize a land in which people are already living, you must provide a garrison for the land, or find some rich man or benefactor who will provide a garrison on your behalf. Or else, give up your colonization, for without an armed force which will render physically impossible any attempt to destroy or prevent this colonization, colonization is impossible, not difficult, not dangerous, but IMPOSSIBLE! [...] Zionism is a colonization adventure and therefore it stands or falls by the question of armed force."
- Vladimir Jabotinsky, The Iron Wall, 1923
"We must do everything to ensure [the Palestinians] never do return."
- David Ben Gurion, 1948
the protests for right to rape, the attacks on the west bank, the bombing on syria, Qatar and Syria are nothing new so where did that perception came from?
